Light Cloud is a hosting platform where the unit of organisation is a folder. A folder holds everything a project needs: frontend, API, database, env variables, and preview per branch.

Static sites go to a global CDN. Containers scale to zero when idle. Postgres sits right next to them, provisioned from the same project. Light Cloud reads your repo and picks the target — no YAML, no runners to babysit.

A preview per branch gives every branch and pull request its own URL, built on push and removed when the branch is gone. Idle containers stop billing; you pay for the time your app actually runs.

Deploy with AI — one command to install. Then ask "Deploy this project to Light Cloud." Claude signs you up if you have no account, asks two questions, and hands back a live URL. The same MCP server works in GitHub Copilot and Claude Desktop; the CLI does it from a shell.
